Overview
- AEMET’s special forecast signals an intense cold spell from Jan. 6–8, with Córdoba’s minimums near −2°C and subzero readings in interior areas.
- The cold episode is linked to the entry of an Arctic air mass associated with the passage of storm Francis, keeping nights frosty and days below normal.
- Galician municipalities report fresh days with morning lows roughly 1–6°C and daytime highs near 7–10°C, mostly dry until a slight chance of light evening rain or isolated storms.
- SMN projects a short-lived warm surge in the Buenos Aires metro, peaking near 31°C on Tuesday under northerly flow, followed by midweek instability and cooler air.
- Mendoza authorities maintain yellow alerts for storms in eastern departments, warning of gusts and isolated hail, with temperatures around the low 30s and brief relief later in the week.
